Apparently some of us are tired of getting it over and over 2) Following the hoax's instructions can cripple your operating system, so passing this information can be dangerous. 3) It's too easy for us humans to accept everything we get in an email as truth, without checking it out first. Example: I received several emails a few years ago claiming that the author of Harry Potter books was openly wanting to get children involved with witchcraft and the occult. I researched the quotes and found them on the Onion website, which is a humor and parody website. In other words, it wasn't true. 4) Anything can be communicated in a diplomatic way. Dale Carnegie's book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" might be a good birthday or Christmas present for some of us. 5) Can't we all just get along?

She is rather young and is HUGE fan of Basia. She has 2 albums out and much of her work is tailored on purpose to sound like Basia--esp. on the first album--and these songs really ARE incredible! Several people indicated an interest, but I never heard back if anyone picked up any of her stuff. So, has anyone heard it? And, if so, what did you think? For those who didn't catch this info the first time, Lucia's CDs were BOTH produced by Nuno Bettencourt, the former lead-guitarist of the band Extreme ("More Than Words," "Hole-Hearted"). Nuno played most of the instruments, wrote some of the music and lyrics, and even sings duet with her on one song. However, it doesn't all sound much like Extreme. About 2/3 of the songs are in Portguese and the other 1/3 are in English. Her website is: www.2020multimedia.com/ecards/lucia/lucia.html It's all in Portuguese, but still not too difficult to find your way around. :) BTW, she sure is CUTE!

From now on, PLEASE, let's be more careful. We don't want this list dies just because of small differences. I'm sure that if Basia knows that her fans are quarelling each other, she will be very sad, even crying, and she will feel that everything she has done is nothing.

I have been on this list a long time, have been a Basia fan a longer time, and yet I would not say something essentially like 'We'd better be nice, because Basia might cry". C'mon, that is just silly! And besides, most of the people giving grief on this list are people I have never heard of-- and they sure jumped all over Bob, who has been here forever.

I had no idea such old geezers with memories stretching back to Joshua's battle at Jericho could still wax flippant. Good to see the blood's still pumping. Seriously, I have heard more than one excellent musician in retirement or semi-retirement utter the sentiment that it became no longer worthwhile to sing or play their hearts and souls out for a bunch of ill-behaved, unmannerly charm school dropouts. Perhaps Ms. T knows exactly who her erstwhile fans are and has felt little incentive to work her arse off entertaining such a crew. I don't know that, of course, just a conjecture. Perhaps she simply has a life, and life is good, and she has no reason to muck it up at the moment. Compelling reasons for "years of no output", those, IMHO. /jan ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 19:54:44 -0700 (PDT) From: Leslie Osborn Subject: Re: Please, be more careful! > blah, blah, blah.

Considering there are only a few posts every two weeks, it's not this burning issue anyway. I'm not ridiculing anyone BTW... I was just giving as good as I was getting.

Bash Madonna." LOL! Along those same lines, my sainted grandmother used to say, "If you cannot contribute something constructive to the conversation, then shut up and get the hell out of my kitchen." She also used to say, "If you can't think of any reason to try to be nice, just look at about a billion other people in the world who act like arses, and then decide if you really want to model yourself after them." Grandmother was very plain spoken but had a heart of gold. Guess I should keep those words in mind myself. I truly mean no disrespect to listmembers, either. I enjoy a lively discussion. What I do not enjoy is some lists seem to have one person who sets him/herself up as the Ultimate Authority on Everything from the list topic to computer-lore in general and then jumps all over an unwitting soul who posts a message the Authority disapproves of. That's just plain mean, no matter what age or gender you are, and I intend to try and avoid that kind of behaviour.

It's funny to be called childish by someone who's just being a troll. Oh well. Anyway, I'm done with this, and I'll post again when the discography is updated, no more. Have fun with the current line of discussion. I'm sure Jan has a lot to enlighten you with-- after all, he spent 7k just to flame me!
